Battery life?
Which of the nikon digital slr cameras gives the best battery life? I
have a pair of D70s cameras and these are pretty darned good. I've heard that the D200 is not as good when it comes to battery life. How do the D3, D300, D80, etc. compare? |

I have been told the D-300 is much better than the D-200 for power consumption. I should have waited for the D-300. |

A fresh battery charge does not go as far on my D80 as on my D70.
However I tend to use the 18-200VR on the D80 which probably sucks up the juice a bit. |

Interesting, my D80 is fine on the battery power. I don't usually review my
shots only glance on occasion after its taken when I'm wondering around in shooting mode, but I would assume that this would eat up power. Not4wood "flambe" wrote in message ...

The D-300? I've put over 500 in 3 days, all with VR 18-200, and mostly flash indoors. One other period with a fresh charge yielded over 450. That was with the VR 18-200 and about 50% flash It appeared to have plenty of life left in both instances. So that's not a good, direct comparison other than to say they both did well. Roger (K8RI) |

Main: 149 pics, 93% remain. Depending on how I shoot, I could get well over 1000 shots. With the BG I shot with the camera on for hours and use of the LCD quite a lot.

I know my old D-70 is good for over 600 shots, but I've never run the battery flat. d50/d70 is typically around 1500+ pictures per charge. My old D70 has never made 1000 let alone 1500. OTOH the 300 is faster in just about everything so I'd expect it to use a bit more power. Still if it does a 1000 on a charge I'll be overjoyed. Roger (K8RI) The D-300?

Batt. life on my D50 is pretty darn good, with or with out flash, never
tested it to the extreme with flash, but taking pics of my dogs,, lots of shooting to get one good pic, life seems pretty good. "Buy_Sell" wrote in message ...

I believe that the D70 used a different battery than the D70s.
This would explain the difference in battery life. On Jan 15, 7:21 pm, "Roger (K8RI)" wrote: My old D70 has never made 1000 let alone 1500. |
